Kokrajhar district, located in the western part of Assam has abundant natural fishery resources consisting of streams, beels, flooded lands etc. The main community of the district is Bodo tribe. Bodo people consume fishes as delicious and medicinal diet. Fish is taken by them in different forms in fresh or in preserved. They use certain fishes as medicine for some diseases. Nafam is a traditional preserved fish product of Bodo tribe. Though traditional but the preparation technique of nafam have various advantages. In this study, the Nafam preparation method of Bodo tribe is broadly described. Certain ethnomedicinal fishes are also trying to highlight on this study. Keywords—Nafam, Fish, Preserved, Ethnomedicine, Bodo Tribe

- Bacteria live in fresh water, soil, air and sea water. Bacteria have different nature in different zone. Thus periphyton bacteria has different characteristic in different zone. But I discussed in my topic soil analysis in fresh water ponds in Sabang block areas. I have done the experiment about one year in Sabang block areas. Soil collected by the bucket. This collected soil is collected from five ponds (Ghat pond, Dhara pond, Majari pond, Nandan pond & Masanta pond) in Sabang block areas. There were two types of pond present Control pond and Experimental pond. In this pond was added the semidried cow dank. In this experiment we are followed the some methods. The pond bottom soil was analyzed for nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium following the standard methods of AOAC (1980). In all the experimental ponds before treatment however, after treatment the nitrogen level increased considerable. Phosphorus plays significant role in enhancing the productivity of pond. Potassium is not limiting factor and is not necessary to increase production.

Acaulospora paulinae was isolated from the rhizosphere soils of Setaria italica (Poaceae), Emilia sonchifolia and Vernonia cinerea (Asteraceae) from Nagarkurnool and Wanaparthy Districts, Telangana, India. The spores are globose to subglobose, 60-95μm in diameter. Sometimes ovoid 60-70 X 80-95 μm. Hyaline to sub hyaline or pale yellow. The spore wall composed of three layers. The surface of the middle layer is ornamented with evenly distributed pits 2.0-2.5 X 3.0-3.5 μm. A. paulinae spores were found in sandy loam soils with decreasing spore numbers. A. paulinae is a characteristic member of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in soils with pH 5.3-8.5 in sandy loam soils of Nagarkurnool and Wanaparthy Districts, Telangana, India. Keywords— Acaulospora paulinae, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomeromycota, Rhizosphere, Acaulosporaceae, Spore morphology, Taxonomy.

AbstractPhytoplanktons are the primary producer of marine ecosystems and contribute towards the primary productivity of aquatic environment. The present study was carried out at three selected sites of Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) viz; Pirotan, Sachana and Roziport. During the study, a total of 106 species of phytoplankton were recorded, of which the highest species diversity was found at Rozi followed by Pirotan and Sachana. The maximum number of species diversity was contributed by the class Bacillariophyceae with 81.5 percentage , 79 percentage and 83 percentage at Pirotan, Rozi and Sachana, respectively. Rozi port reported the highest number of harmful phytoplankton i.e. some members of Bacillariophyceae and Dinophyceae. The highest number of species was recorded at Rozi port (75 sp.) followed by Pirotan (54 sp.) and Sachana (46 sp.). The varied environmental conditions prevailing at three study sites may cause variation in species composition at these sites.

Dibutyl phthalate, a plasticizer, is widely used as a softener in several commercial industrial products. The study investigated the sublethal effects of dibutyl phthalate on ovary of the freshwater fish, Pseudetroplus maculatus. Dibutyl phthalate exposed at 0.2 mg/ L concentration for 24, 72 and 96 h showed behavioural modifications in the fish. The body weight showed significant reduction after 72 h of toxicant exposure with concomitant increase in mucous deposition, which indicated whole-organism response against the toxicant. The weight of ovary and gonadosomatic index decreased significantly in all treatment groups thereby suggested the stress exhibited on female reproductive organ. Dibutyl phthalate prevented normal activities of steroidogenic enzymes as 3βand 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in ovary of the fish. The alterations in the level of vitellogenin measured through indirect endpoints such as alkali-labile phosphoprotein and total protein in ovary and blood plasma indicated the estrogenic effects of the toxicant. Dibutyl phthalate disrupted hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis as demonstrated by the increase in the levels of luteinizing hormone and testosterone with reduction in serum estradiol without remarkable changes in the level of follicle stimulating hormone. In the ovary, number of vitellogenic oocyte increased whereas the population of pre-vitellogenic oocyte declined without any changes in the number of post-vitellogenic oocyte. Histological evaluation revealed severe morphological damages associated to apoptosis such as empty follicle and atretic oocytes, membrane blebbing, nuclear condensation, vacuolization and broken theca granulosa membrane. The present findings suggested that sublethal exposure of DBP induced ovarian toxicity in the freshwater fish, Pseudetroplus maculatus.

— An ecosystem functions by the interrelationship between the different types of living organisms found in it. The birds are a vital component of many a food chains as they occupy diverse habitats and therefore, they play a very important role in establishing ecological balance in the nature. Thus, study of avian ecology is very important aspect of life-science. The Merops orientalis , commonly called as the ‗green bee-eater‘, is a very beautiful bird which is commonly found in the countryside. This study has been conducted to know the feeding, social and nesting behaviors of these tiny green bee-eaters. These amazing insectivorous birds are commonly found in this lush green region of Mosabani, a rural area in Jharkhand. These small hunters are slender having very colorful plumage and a typical tail structure. They mostly occur in pairs and nest in colonies. They roost on trees huddled in large groups making loud shrilling ‗treee- treee‘ sounds. These birds camouflage beautifully with the green leaves of the trees and bushes.

BIOSURFACTANTS FROM MICRORGANISMS Biosurfactants are the surface-active molecules synthesized by microorganisms. With the advantage of environmental compatibility, the demand for biosurfactants has been steadily increasing and may eventually replace their chemically synthesized counterparts. Marine biosurfactants produced by some marine microorganisms have been paid more attention, particularly for the antimicrobial activity against various microbes in medicinal field. In this study, the screening of biosurfactant-producing marine microorganisms, the determination of biosurfactant activity as well as the recovery of marine biosurfactant and the antibacterial activity of the biosurfactant were done. The uses of silver nanoparticles with marine biosurfactants for the antibacterial activity also discussed. The marine Serratia sp. had the ability to produce the biosurfactant and shows high amount of antibacterial activity against some pathogenic bacteria.

Antimicrobial resistance has been developing fast and continuing to challenge the world medical sector. New strategies are needed to address this challenge that is incurring huge loss on human life. Medicinal plants from the untapped rainforest of the North-East India has a huge potential to find microbes that produce novel biomolecules. Bioactive endophytes were isolated from traditionally used medicinal plants. Paenibacillus spp. from Millettia spp. in a fermentation broth has shown strong and broad-spectrum of activity at the range of 1600 AU/ml. Unexplored region has huge prospect to find novel biomolecules which can be harvested in scientific, economical and environmentally friendly. Moreover, it has shown that the traditional medicinal plant harboured bioactive. Moreover, it will provide insights into its metabolic potential and ecological role of this species.
